I use Claude.

Maybe we have very different expectations on what counts as a client deliverable.

A client deliverable should be perfect. I’ve yet to see that in any capacity on anything that AI delivers. Even emails.

Garbage and perfect are awfully far apart.

I'm not saying its perfect. But if it takes me a fraction of the time to clean up a few things and put in personal touches on something that would've otherwise taken several hours, that's client ready in my book and an immense increase in productivity.

Everyone says this the first time they use Claude.

The exponential capabilities have been promised since 2023, yet I still have to redirect it to do what I would have done quite often, slightly faster once in a while.

The whole conductor pattern (agents talking to agents) doesn't seem like it's panning out like they thought and prices seem to only be going up. It ain't gonna be $20 a month forever.

It has become quite obvious how many people just farm out their work to an AI, to the point that AI and LLMs have become a quasi-religion: if you question the results, you were prompting it wrong.

I have a master's in CS and I can tell you the code generated by Claude and chatgpt is light years beyond what I could do in a fraction of the time.

You just have to embrace the changes and ride the wave. I'm not mad at all.

Only if the client is willing to spend insane amounts of money or wait forever.

Claude Anthropic is pretty badass at helping write apps. We have been using it in house for 6 months. As long as the product manager knows the business logic it’s a helluva time saver.

Sure it could be hyperbole. I admit I'm an early Claude user but it has certainly opened my eyes to what Ai is capable of.

The move from just using a chat bot daily to using Cowork feels exponentially better, but maybe I'm just late to the party. Even if it gets marginally better it's a game changer IMO.

Maybe the exponential growth will be more in how people use it rather than its actual capabilities. Regardless, it will fundamentally change how alot of businesses operate sooner than later.

I can get behind that, and I'm not saying that where the tech is since 5 years ago isn't impressive.

The comparison that always comes to mind to me is how personal computers got popular in the 80s; it is opening people's eyes as to what could be done with them.

so long as the law protects billionaires AI company owners, there's no need to change.

"Look AI killed those passengers due to it producing bad code, oh well, no one to blame."

Let it become, "CEO XXX has been sentenced to 35 years in prison for his company's AI..." then you'll hear a different tune. Will that happen? doubtful.

Prompt engineering is cool and all until everyone atrophies and forgets how to write code. I’m starting to become guilty of this in my current role but my god it’s gotten bad.

It will come down to resources and whether removing human labor (and destroying the economy) makes up for the escalating expense in resources AI will demand. That curve is every bit as dramatic as AI's abilities in certain areas. And as the unemployment rate continues to tick up, I think eventually the stock gains are going to meet a dramatic end.

Come on guys AI is just another tool in the ever evolving development cycle.

You think the first guys using punchcards would appreciate the beauty of a 1990s IDE to build C++ code easily?

Things evolve. AI takes alot of the grunt work out of writing basic shite that consumes too much time for humans to do.

It's not that hard of a concept if you understand this is just another tool to take your code to the next level.

Shocker: good Claude code comes from people who are good coders already and know how to tweak and read the output to make sure it's in line with expectations.

I can tell there's a lot of people in this thread who don't have a CS background or think they're a programming expert because they texted shite to Claude or chatgpt and it generates code. Lol no. That doesn't mean anything.

And that "ever evolving development cycle" is going to equal more homeless, more welfare and a dying economy. Efficient? Sure. Profitable? In the short-term, absolutely, But these things don't happen in a void. The evolution in the name of pure profit always leaves bodies in its wake. AI isn't "just a tool". It's a replacement... at least, that's the thinking that's sinking huge money into it and the mountain of resources needed for it to run. And that replacement will come at a cost. You don't replace 50 people with 5 and expect the economy to keep on ticking with uber and doordash gigs. And there aren't that many trade jobs, either.

75% of all code generated by Google.

But only about 15% of all code overall being generated by AI.

I know the 15% number will only go up.
But there is so much over-exageration with AI that it is crazy.

What AI puts out is garbage. It's being pumped by leadership at companies, because they aren't in the details.

It saves time summarizing, it might catch grammar mistakes, and it can tell you where to look to find something.

People should be afraid of AI, because people in leadership at large companies are vastly overestimating its capabilities.


So much truth here. I am an SAP Solution Architect and I have a target this year to create 5 unique agents and record 5 hours of time savings per week via the use of AI.

90% of my experiences using it go very similar to this:
